CENTRAL AMERICA – Thousands of soldiers in El Salvador have surrounded a rural region larger than New York City to flush out gang members who are allegedly hiding there.

The military deployment in Cabañas was ordered by President Nayib Bukele as part of his ongoing war on gangs.

More than 70,000 suspected gang members have been arrested since a state of emergency was declared in March 2022.
